Pepper Place & Saturday Market
Pepper Place
A creative district in a former Dr Pepper soda plant. Its Saturday farmers' market is the largest in Alabama.
The old factory buildings at Pepper Place were once a Dr Pepper syrup factory and now house design shops, galleries, restaurants and craft beer bars. From April to December, the farmers' market runs every Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon, with over a hundred stalls selling local produce, barbecue sauce, cheese and handicrafts, along with chef demonstrations and live music. It is about a 3-minute drive from Sloss Furnaces, so you can tour both in one morning.
